The table shows ordered pairs of the function y = 16 + 0.5x . A 2-column table with 6 rows. The first column is labeled x with entries negative 4, negative 2, 0, 1, x, 10. The second column is labeled y with entries 14, 15, 16, 16.5, y, 21.
Which ordered pair could be the missing values represented by (x, y)?

(0, 18)
(5, 19.5)
(8, 20)
(10, 21.5)

The missing values represented by x and y are 8 and 20, that is;

(x, y) = (8, 20)

Step-by-step explanation: The function y = 16 + 0.5x is a linear equation that can be solved graphically. This means the values of both variables x and y can be found on different points along the straight line graph.

The ordered pairs simply means for every value of x, there is a corresponding value of y.

The 2-column table has values for x and y which all satisfy the equation y = 16 + 0.5x. Taking the first row for example, the pair is given as (-4, 14).

This means when x equals negative 4, y equals 14.

Where y = 16 + 0.5x

y = 16 + 0.5(-4)

y = 16 + (-2)

y = 16 - 2

y = 14

Therefore the first pair, just like the other four pairs all satisfy the equation.

Hence, looking at the options given, we can determine which satisfies the equation

(option 1) When x = 0

y = 16 + 0.5(0)

y = 16 + 0

y = 16

(0, 16)

(option 2) When x = 5

y = 16 + 0.5(5)

y = 16 + 2.5

y = 18.5

(5, 18.5)

(option 3) When x = 8

y = 16 + 0.5(8)

y = 16 + 4

y = 20

(8, 20)

From our calculations, the third option (8, 20)  is the correct ordered pair that would fill in the missing values x and y.

the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

identity property is where 0+whatever number=whatever number. basically 0+ a number.
